SSC Selection Post 2023 PYQ — Question 32

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Wheat.

A Rabi crop in Northern India is wheat. Rabi crops are sown in winter (October to December) and harvested in spring (March to May). These crops require a cool climate during the growing season and warmer weather for ripening. In Northern India, wheat is the most important Rabi crop due to favorable climatic conditions and availability of irrigation. Other common Rabi crops include barley, mustard, peas, and gram. Farmers prepare their fields after the monsoon ends and rely on residual soil moisture and irrigation. These crops play a significant role in ensuring food security and supporting rural livelihoods in the region.
